John R. Rogers High School

Reminder, tomorrow is the last day of school for the 25-26 school year. School will dismiss at 11am. It's been a great year! We are looking forward to welcoming our new Pirates in August. See you at Launch Conferences on August 24th!

Seniors were sent off in style yesterday and the traditional Move Up Con. The morning was filled with remembrances and see-you-laters as they walked through the tunnel of staff. In the afternoon, Seniors had the opportunity to reminisce and say hello to staff and students at their feeder elementary and middle schools. This is a heart filled annual event that everyone loves. Next step: Graduation on Saturday at the Podium. The ceremony starts at 2:30pm

Thank you to our amazing staff who consistently support students at Rogers. Time was taken to acknowledge the longevity of service at John R with time spans ranging from 5 to 35 years! Congratulations to Mrs. Freeland who will complete her 35th year and step into her next phase as she retires from her teaching career!

Big R is in the books! A celebration for all students with lots of activities to choose. Tennis, Volleyball, Basketball, crafts, board games, and a talent show were just a few of the options! Thanks to the leadership crew for organizing this event and to all the staff who made it possible.

First In Family: This week we honored seniors who are the first in their family to graduate high school or choose post-secondary plans such as military, vocational, 2-year college or 4-year university. The room filled with these students, their proud families, and an honored guest who made an impact on their educational journey. Thank you to all who attended this special event!

GRAD SPOTLIGHT: Every year, The Spokesman-Review interviews a graduating senior from all 69 regional high schools. We are proud to share the interviews of Spokane Public School’s class of 2026 representatives!
